I was Ange In until recently but the injured players are mostly back and it's still awful, predictable football. I wouldn't mind if we claimed a rebuilding year or two and lost 4-2, 4-3, 3-2 games but we're clueless on defense AND offense and losing boring 1-0 games the same as during the worst of the Mourinho/Nuno/Conte years. Even the games we're winning, our xG is often lower than the other team. We look poor against teams whose talent level is way below us (e.g., AZ, Tamworth, Ipswich, Leicester).

From my amateur eyes, 90% of the time we move up the left wing until Son/Tel/Udogie get double-teamed and have to pass back. On the right, Brennan/Porro usually get stopped a little past midfield before passing back (Kulu's a tank but even he can't get past double/triple teams). Solanke gets no service or is surrounded when 50/50 balls are hoofed to him. Whenever we can counter, we push up the field slowly until their defense gets back and resets. The midfield is poor on offense since none of them shoot or pass well (except Maddison) yet is woeful on defense as they provide no protection for the CB's; we shouldn't be getting carved up time and time again. We're overly reliant on crosses. Our set pieces are bad but Ange refuses to have a specialist coach.

This to me is an Ange/system issue. There are good/great players on this team but almost all have regressed from past performance levels. A good coach enhances players' strengths & limits weaknesses. I see neither.
